Are online university courses taught by real professors?
In most online universities, faculty members are required to have Masters and/or Doctorate degrees in order to teach courses. Online universities typically put their faculty through training programs in online instruction before they begin to teach courses online. Many times, the online instructor is teaching a course that they have personally developed or assisted in developing. Often, online university instructors are recognized experts in their field. They may be successful CEOs, CFOs, managers, supervisors, business owners, and other professionals who can bring their “real world” expertise and experience to the online classroom for the benefit of the students.
